Goniosynechiae, right eye

This code describes an abnormal adhesion between the iris and the trabecular meshwork or peripheral cornea in the right eye. These adhesions can impede aqueous humor outflow, potentially leading to increased intraocular pressure and glaucoma.

Use this code when documentation specifies goniosynechiae affecting the right eye. This condition is typically identified during a gonioscopy examination. Supporting documentation should include findings from an ophthalmological examination confirming the presence and laterality of the synechiae.

• Always specify laterality (right, left, bilateral, or unspecified) as documented.
• Distinguish from peripheral anterior synechiae (PAS) if the documentation is more specific.
• Code any associated glaucoma or elevated intraocular pressure separately.
